US media outlets have also reportedly warned that the price of the bulletproof blankets for schools, which is $1,000 each, is definitely way beyond the budget of many schools, even though substantial discounts are offered.
When it comes to the price of the bulletproof blankets for schools, Walker defended the product as being made with bullet-resistant material making it expensive. He also said that the blankets are five times cheaper than tornado shelters which can amount to $5 million to build.
Though Walker and his co-creators are the first to invent bulletproof blankets for schools, they are reportedly not the first people to offer protective gear for US school children. Other companies have also invented bullet-proof backpacks and inserts.
Bulletproof blankets for schools have been launched in late May, and Inventor Stan Schone said the company has had individual customers as well as a number of school districts who seemed interested in the bulletproof blankets for schools.
